Aqueduct Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
SEA VISTA (6) was well fancied last start over 1308m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) when fifth, beaten 4 lengths. Can bounce back. POPPY'S TICKET (2) is a genuine type with two minor placings from three starts this prep. Was handy all the way and finished 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last time out over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. LIMO (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when sixth in a 1609m contest at this track six-and-a-half weeks ago after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ROGER ROGER (5) has been in the money four times including last start on January 2 when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three two times. Worth considering.
